natural phrase OF life. Maidens in the
lower classes have the most numerous
chances to marry, OF course, because
there Ia less foresight and caution
among that class OF people. They do
not reason 80 much. They are will

quences and in nine cases out OF ten
l think they are right. In the middle
classes those opportunities diminish
perceptibly, and in the upper classes
or the so called society sets they are
rarer than anywhere else because an
upper.grade society man reflects q
long time before he binds himself Tor
life to q woman, ana society women
are often apt to proceed on the same
plan. You see, natural impulses are
quite too apt to be educated out OF
us entirely nowadays. We think we
are able to dispense with that truer
essence OF living which the man who
serves us is altogether wise enough to
know life is not worth living without,
and so we go on leading our foolish.
solitary, empty lives. While we are
living few frieuds smile upon us;
when we are dead we shall be utterly
forgotten.

Deaths Concealed.

From the London Truth.
Count Beust, in his memoirs, tells
rather a grim story OF how Count
Brunnow concealed his wife's death
for three days, keeping, meanwhile,
the body in ice, in order that the dis
closure of the melancholy event should
not cast a shadow on the festivities
then in progress in the celebration oil
the marriage of the Duke of Edinburgh
and the Archduchess Marie. IL isnot
generally known that, for similar rea-
sons, the death of the late Prince
Albrecht OF Prussia, Kaiser Wilhelm
brother, was kept concealed for n
longer period. The prince actua ly
died on the eve of the visit to Berlin
of tine Gar, and the Emperor of Aus
tria in the autumn of 1872. That
visit lasted for a week, and il was not
until the potentates had quilted
Prussian soil, and the echo OF
the festivities had died away. that
Prince Albrecht was proclaimed dead,
that the mourning for him be-
gan. Here, therefore. are two pre-
cedents for the tories of Plymouth
cynically concealing the news o. the
death OF Lord iddesleigh until they
had finished their ball.

A Southern Hero.

DNS.
 The good people of Massachusetts have been much stirred lately by the interference of Catholic clergymen with the public schools, and the Boston Transcript proposes the organization in this country of Public School Defense association. It thus SUD- we have abundsntly shown, under a mis- chievous menace, which there is excellent reason to fear may work upon large num- Der of citizens in such a way as to sap their confidence in the schools, and in many in- stances to undermine their usefulness. Many thousands of these citizens, we believe, greatly prefer the public schools to any other, and would support them if they saw clearly to the heart of the matter at issue. An asso- citation which should most effectively per form the work of defense and enlightenment would not be one of limited scope. If the duty should be undertaken by such a body as the Evangelical Alliance, for instance, or by any other body or association, no matter how meritorious, having any object in view save the simple one of defending the public schools, more harm than good might be done. W nas "o "an' ie . oAooo assocldtlon, every one of whose acts shall be done in the fullest light, and which should be so genuinely catholic that communicants of the Roman church who believe in the public schools should be glad to belong to it, and should find in it's proceedings nothing to make them regret their membership. Such an associa ton would not only find work enough to its hand, but must assuredly accomplish great deal of good.

NICKNAMES FOR WIVES.
The Endearing Titles Given by Fon Husbands to Their Better Halves.
 

The Endearing Titles Given by Fond
 Husbands to Their Better Halves.
 lFrom Saratoga Letter.1
 When a lounger on the veranda of one of the big hotels at this place bears 8 man say, 'fHurry up, little one," or "Come along, birdie," he may bs sure that it is husband addressing his wife, and that she is enor- mously fat. Apparently all husbands of fat women address their wives with diminutives, if not with nicknames fit only for small wo- men or little girls. "Daisy," Birdie" and "Baby" appear to be the pet names most favored by husbands of mammoth women.
 The very swell and exquisite young mar ried men call their wives with monosylla- bles, such as Fuss, Chris, Hen, Fan, Loo, Tot. Oddly enough, the fathers of these same fellows, men so well kept that you can't say whether they are forty-fve or sixty-five are fond of drawing out the full names of their helpmeets, as for instance,
 "Come heah, Frances" or ''Now, my deah Eleanor, you must have wrap" Equally
 fixed is the rule that thin and sickly wo- men, dyspeptics, neuralgies and the like are addressed by their Iege lords as wife, whatever. The invalid husbands, and all the prim and precise ones we'll, address their better halves as 'tmy dear.' This, by the way, is the established custom with the Hebrews, though they are usually heard to
 pronounce the words "mine teer." The clergymen seem to have united upon the word "mothern as title for their wives, and the men who are so common here, and who seem to be wrapped up in an only girl or boy, call their wives fma."
 There is no end to the Dollies and the my 1oves," while one hears miscellaneous lot of passers-by addressing their comrades as s'Pet," and there are three Popsies. One plump little wife is gradually becoming known to everybody in one of the hotels as "Sugar." She is not the only feminine con lection, for there is dimpled brunette who answers to her husband as "Sweety," and yesterday a very prim- looking wife, some l what the shape of board, was addressed as s'Sweetness" before all the crowd at the spring in Congress Park. It may be an oversight, but there does not seem to. be a l "darling" in town. A dy-faced, corpu- lent man not forty, who looks as if he was born and brought up in the Stock Exchange, always addresses his wife as Precious" and in the same hotel husband who appears to l hail from the West replies to his wife with | s'Yes, Pigeon," "All right, Pigeon," and so on. As it happens, there is something about the wife's appearance or manner, or perhaps it is her shape, that renders this oldest of nicknames peculiarly Appropriate.

THE CHICAGO GAS TRUST.

The people in all parts of this country are deeply interested in the fight which is being made against the Chicago Gas Trust, for it Is evident that the various ''trusts' which have been formed are to have 8 powerful in- huence upon the business and welfare of the country.
 All the gas companies of Chicago were ab sorbed by the Trust The actual value of the property controlled by 1t is said to be about S10 1000, 900, but the Trust is capital ized at $25, 1000, 900, and it undertakes to guarantee $1o, ,0OO, 900 of the bonds issued by the companies. Of course the people who use gas in Chicago are expected to pay the expenses of this performance, and as soon as the Trust had perfected it's plans the price of gas was raised from $1.25 to $1.50, and the agents of the several companies (which re tained their separate organizations and of fces) were instructed not to solicit patronage because the companies "were practically one" and there was no longer any necessity for competition. The ordinances by which two of the companies were doing business contained provisions forbidding them to en- ter into any combination "directly or indi- rectly" with any gas company or companies concerning rates, or to sell or lease their privileges to any other company, and the corporation counsel was instructed to fur nish an opinion concerning the matter. He finds that there has been some sharp work, and he says: understand that the Gas Trust has controlling interest in the stock of these companies. The control, 1t is alleged, was obtained without any corporate action by the companies as corporations, but by the individual stockholders. The control might have been obtained in such manner as not to make the companies amenable to any ac- ton, but it involves a broader question: whether corporation created under our gen. sral incorporation law can by virtue of the power granted by this act control and assume not only its own corporate powers, but in addition thereto assume and control in the shape of trust the corporate powers and privileges of any number of corporations. This question must eventually demand judie- ial action as to whether such an exercise of power is not unlawful, prejudicial to public interests and contrary to public policy.
 The "trusts" are able to hire good lawyers and it may be found that they have done nothing illegal. But they need attention, and perhaps some more law is needed in or der to deal with them properly.

A FRENCH GHOST
Arrested by the Police and Sentenced
 to Transportation.

S6Rtehced
 to Transportation.
 A kind of successor to the famous Cock lane ghost has been Praised" and run to earth in a rather dismal part of Paris, says London Telegraph correspondent. The ap. partition was in the habit of making it's man. ifestations near the lugubrious Champs de Navets, or ''Turnip Field, where the man gled remains of decapitated criminals are finally deposited after the doctors have done with them. For the past fortnight the peo- pie who dwell near the cemetery have been frightened by the "bogey," which usually selected cloudy nights for it's walks abroad. The spectre was described as being of gigan- tic size, with long arms, and some market gardeners, who had passed near it in their carts during the small hours of the morning, said that one of their number had fired whole pocketful of bullets from revolver at it without touching it. The fact that the market gardener who held the revolver might have been bad shot, or momentarily un- nerved by the appalling contingency that he was making target of real ghost, did not weigh with the inhabitants of the Ivry town. ship, who became so terror-stricken that not one of them would venture near the grave yard after the shades of evening had fallen on the "Turnip Field" and the adjunct To- calities. Legends and tales were being fast concocted by the oldest inhabitants in order to impress the younger people with 8 due idea of the thrilling experiences of their el- ders, and it was darkly hinted that the ghost might be the shade of one of the murderers whose debris find final resting place in the Ivry graveyard. The more practical inspec- tor of police of the district, however, re- garded the ghost from 8 nineteenth century point of view, and when the mysterious movements of the gigantic figure with the long arms were brought to his cognizanee he shrewdly conjectured that the long arms were in search of something. He according ly organized a razzia last night, as if the ghost were 8 vulgar nocturnal prowler, and his men stationed themselves at the "witch- ing hour" behind 8 clump of trees. Soon they saw the phantom rise from 8 grave and direct it's ethereal steps toward 8 potato field close to the cemetery. Having unceremoni- ously climbed wall between it and the po- tatoes, the apparition proceeded to a hiding place, whence it drew forth 8 handeart which it began to fill with the profitable vegetables beloved by Parmentier and served up by him in so many different ways. Having at last satisfied themselves that the phantom was not thing of awful mystery, but 8 substan- the midnight potato robber and handcuffed him. The apparition. enveloped in his winding sheet, was then marched to the sta tion house, where he was speedily identified as juvenile delinquent of the parish who had already qualified himself for a change of air beyond the seas by divers offences, which he had planned with an ingenuity worthy of one who for fortnight had made the inhab- itants of Ivry go to bed in fear and trem- bling.
